Population justification: Partners in Flight (2019) estimated the population to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals, thus it is placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals here.

Trend justification: The population trend is difficult to determine because of uncertainty over the impacts of habitat modification on population sizes. The population may now be increasing in southern Socorro following sheep and cat eradication efforts (J. E. Martínez-Gómez in litt. 2016); however, further evidence is required to confirm this increasing trend.
